How much amount in Indian rupees per Haji will be refunded whom category has been changed from green to aziziah.And when this refund will be made? because there are few cases of last year who have not received any refund yet.

As per the rule once you have selected the accommodation category , there is not any provision to change it , please contact your respective State Haj Committee for it . May be they guide you.
Thanks & Regards

Yes you can. My father in law had done that, this year only but do it fast and before paying the balance amount. Contact both State Haj committee as well as Mumbai office. You have to sent change of category application to CEO, Mumbai Haj Committee. Act fast and do repeated inquiry after giving application and dont miss the last date of payment.

I Would like to know about that my parents applied for Haj this year Insha’Allah can you explain me about the facility in GEEN CATAGORY they applied for green but I came to know in late that there is no food cooking provision in this category so how they manage their food and what about their accommodation my father , mother and with her elder sister , which types of room provided in this category
